• SPORTS DAY CANCELLED KS1 & EY

  Wed 17 Jul 2024

  SPORTS DAY CANCELLED - EY & KS1
  
  Due to the torrential rain last night, our school field is waterlogged and therefore unsafe. Unfortunately our sports days today will be unable to go ahead.
  Children will still participate in sports day activities in the school hall so they will not miss out.
  
  Our summer fayre WILL go ahead whatever the weather!
  The forecast looks good today & overnight so we are hoping that the fayre will still be able to go ahead on the field, but we have a plan B if not!

• Food Bank

• SPORTS DAY UPDATE KS2

  Mon 15 Jul 2024

  SPORTS DAY UPDATE

  Good morning everyone, 

   

  Unfortunately, the weather over the weekend has left our school field waterlogged. We are keeping children off the field today to give it the very best chance of drying out. However, unfortunately the forecast for tomorrow isn't good. Please cross your fingers and hope the forecast is incorrect  and that our field dries out in time! We will update families at 9am tomorrow morning as to whether the KS2 sports day (tomorrow afternoon) can go ahead.

   

  Thank you for your continued support.

   

   

  8.50AM - 16th July -
  We are keeping everything crossed the rain holds off until later today so at current, we are planning to GO AHEAD with our KS2 sports day at 1.30pm. (The forecast is currently no rain until 4pm)
  
  If the weather worsens, we will send out a text if we are unable to go ahead last minute.
